We have an expression here in the country that almost always brings a smile to the face of the hearer: "You can't get there from here." Mt. Zion comes close to being one of those places. It sits on the point of a ridge at the end of a country road. Flowing around the base of the ridge is Cain Mill Creek that meanders through the woods on its way to McGhee's Creek. The water that forms Cain Mill Creek percolates out of the ground just up the hollow from Mt. Zion and begins its journey that ends in the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of the Mighty Mississippi. But, you don't have to come upriver to find us. Here are some simple "country directions" that will get you here soon enough. About 12 miles east of Bude, Mississippi, on Highway 98 turn north at Fenn's Grocery. Proceed north for one mile until you get to the first blacktop on the right. Turn right and proceed east for approximately one mile until you get to the first blacktop on the left. Turn left and stay on the blacktop until the road ends at Mt. Zion. That will be another mile or so. You will know you are here when you can't go any farther and you look around and decide it would be a nice place to sit a spell.
